Thanks for the info, I will check the motor when I go to my shop!!
-
I was told when I got it it was a 27. I have the I d plate on the frame the number starts with 12. The car is not at my house so I don't have the whole number today. It could be a 26 ,it really doesn't matter to me. I will get the numbers tomorrow when I go to my shop. Could it be a 25 or 26? It has no front brakes at all.

I'm not sure I would call this a speedster with full fenders and side mount spares. Look like it came from the factory like that. It is a nice car however.
-
someone wrote me about my rear fenders .I deleted it by mistake. I am not going to use them and they are in decent shape. One has a small dent P.m. me again and we can talk about price
-
Its a flathead, I'm thinking of adapting the 27 trans to it. the bolt holes on the motor look similar to the 27 motor. This is turning into a long term project!!

O K troops, time for me to get back to work!! Had a great time at Bonneville ,Lots of wild stuff. Before I left I managed to get the two front wheels apart. This week I'm hopeing to get the back ones apart , then sandblasting and paint. The 46 motor and trans I was going to use temp is a bit of a problem. The trans hits the crossmember, (4-speed truck). I'm looking for a three speed that is smaller. I don't want to cut the frame as I plan to put the original engine and trans back in latter on.

O K play time is over, I need to get some work on this stude done before I have to leave for Bonneville in aug. I'm going to call Stutzmans this week to ask a ? about the wheels. Hopfully he can do the Studebaker wheels. I think I will have to take them apart and sandblast them before I send them to him. Don't know!
-
That looks like the motor in my standard six. Your fenders and grill are the same as my 27. But wait your sterring is on the wrong side!! Just kidding I didn't know Studebaker built a truck back then, I wish I could find those disc wheels in the U.S. Looks like a sweet project. Good luck!!! Joey
-
I'm interested in these disc's. I have a 27 standard 6. I will call you tomorrow Thanks Joey
-
Anyone out there in Studebaker land know if any other wheels will interchange with the wood spoke wheels on my 27 standard six. I would really like some disc wheels. I know some Studebakers had them. Or if someone has some good wood spoke wheels they wish to sell. My car has no front brakes,only brake drums on the rear. Any help or suggestions will be helpfull.:cool:
-
I'm going to Ct. for two weeks,will post more pics when I return. The frame. is now in black rust encapsulator ! When I get back its time to take the wood wheels apart to send to be rebuilt Should be fun,maybe.
-
Good news, tried to remove rear wheels. I thought I would not be able to get them off and was ready to buy a puller. A little wiggling and I was able to get the off without much of a problem. sometimes you get lucky!! axle and key looks good. I think the trip home from Kansas broke them free!!
-
I need a puller to get the rear wheels off my standard six chassis. I will buy or rent or borrow!!!:confused:
-
The plan is to have the wood wheels rebuilt. Theres a guy that can do them in Penn.
-
If I can go back to lowering the steering column for a bit. Mine had a clamp with one bolt ,I was able to loosen that bolt and drop the column about 5 in ,makes for a lower look. Later I will center the pitman arm.
-
Back from the sand -blaster, Look ma no cracks!!

Can I have another week??
-
Today I pulled the motor out, removed trans,clutch housing ,pressure plate and flywheel. Found a large mouse nest in clutch housing ,It was so big I think Mickey was living there. Next I will be removing the front cover ! I was surprised to find the trans turns in all gears. That's good news,Ithink!!
-
not yet ,the motor is stuck, but my friend and I are going to try to get it free. The engine is complete and nothing is missing. I was going to get more pics today but I forgot my camera.. It does roll and the trans is not frozen!
